Bounty Hunter - An Extensive Star Wars Retrospective

Sorry Disney, you don’t make the rules, this game is canon.

[@plissken94th57]

Tbh it was one of the few stories that didn’t screw up or contradict any of the continuity of the trilogies. They shouldn’t have put it in the EU category then that age of the republic comic with jango is more like a spontaneous meet with Dooku rather than what we got her in the gams

[@scottjones845]

I don't think they should be allowed to call anything canon honestly. I'm sorry there are children in the world that had the sequel trilogy as their introduction to this series. Disney should be drawn and quartered for that and not just on Twitter, but in life. Tragic. All 3 movies were descending war crimes. And I am not sorry for saying that 😌

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

I never understood why there wasn't an upgrade system in the game for a BOUNTY HUNTER to spend credits on. That and the ability to unlock a Boba Fett costume option always baffled me. The last thing I was always puzzled over was how on the Prison Riot mission, the guards and prisoners would suddenly stop fighting each other and target YOU together...for some reason even if you didn't attack them. Even with the faults though, my brother and I loved this game back in the day.

[@shanetucker9009]

It would be nice for the game to be remastered, and they could upgrade the game by having an upgrade system where you can spend your credits on and buy stuff like a costume upgrade, with additional skins, and have the ability to play as alternate characters from the Star Wars Bounty Hunter storyline. Like if you wanted to play as Montross, Zam Wesell, Komari Vossa, etc. Also to have a Boba Fett storyline

[@codynovick5701]

This game needs a re-release. They could fix so many things, well an indie dev could. AAA would try to AAAA release it, whatever that means

Happy to say the remaster of this game comes out on August 1st for playstation and xbox with the ability to unlock Boba Fett!!!! ​@codynovick5701

Hot take: RotJ shouldn't have returned to Tatooine but rather had Jabba be located on Nar Shaddaa and do the Han rescue bit there. Imagine how much more interesting it would be in that giant city, in my opinion the coolest location in Star Wars and criminally underused in media

[@Vulcan_Seagull]

Episode 3 features Tatooine at the end. The Empire Strikes back is the only movie from the OT and PT that doesn’t feature it.

[@jimbeaux89]

One of my favorites of all time. I’ll never forget Christmas of 2002. I was 12 years old and opened up a brand new PS2+bounty hunter. I have so many fond memories of playing this game nonstop Man.. 2000-2013 Star Wars game’s stories blows EVERYTHING that Disney has come up for Star Wars right out of the water.

This is awesome man I really needed a reminder of how awesome the times before all the Disney stuff were. I will say though that I did also just realize that the accuracy of the tusken raiders was portrayed accurately, they could hit pod racers pretty accurately which would take a lot of skill, just look at how fast they had to move just to get sights on one of those, and then they hit them, thank you man. Your words on the yuuzahn vong and and and such actually made me laugh. You’ve brought much joy to this eu Star wars and jango fett fan.

[@HouseClarkzonian]

This game deserves a remaster and remake and a sequel where you play as Boba Fett, not the Mandolorian.

[@scottb3034]

It was technically remastered for at least the Playstation 4 but that was just making it look okay on that system rather than any actual texture or graphical remastering. I am sure PC has graphic mods to remaster it. But a remake or a Boba sequel would be great.

[@tn1149]

[@DarthArachnious]

When we used to play Star Wars WOTC RPG. My friend played as an original character, the son of Jagganath (Darth Maul) and Komari Vosa. They met in Darth Maul: Lockdown. Dooku finds the child after Vosa dies and has him raised in his Castle on Kholma. As a secret apprentice to be used similar to how Sidious trained Maul. Our DM hated it, but it used established canon lore. Which was one of our house rules. This was all before the return of Maul or the Disney buyout.

[@adammatis5527]

I too love Star Wars. All 6 movies.

[@DIEGhostfish]

At least one of the Hutt slave escape bounties the first in the entertainment district is placed by Ka'Pa the Hutt, the very same one from the Mysteries of the Sith expansion of Jedi Knight 1.

[@cortfoss9465]

I love how the second stage for Vosa just gives more of an advantage to Jango than it does her. You can cheese her so easily. She doesn’t block while running, so you can literally just keep back flipping and flying around her the entire time, shooting her constantly and it’ll be over in less than a minute.

[@RyeBreadGangster]

Love seeing this game covered. I keep dusting off my ps2 just to play as Jango.

[@ammosophobia]

34:46 I hate to break it to you, but ROTS ends on Tatooine ... it's the last shot of the movie.

[@Jaredwh0522]

Honestly I did play this game and at the time I enjoyed playing the game it gave me a new perspective on why jango fett is a great character and he deserves better

[@ArmouredProductions]

Growing up, I always figured that they didn't use Jango's iconic blaster sound because given how much and how thumb-breakingly fast you have to shoot in this game the sounds would get really loud and annoying really quick. If you've ever fired the westar sound really quickly it does not sound good.

[@The-Black-Death]

Just because it's not Disney Canon doesn't mean it can't be Canon, afterall it still is in Legends, and no one truly takes Disney "Canon" seriously besides the shills. Hell for that matter, I'm not even sure if Disney has even overwritten Jango's backstory since I haven't paid much mind to what they've been doing for awhile now.

[@IrishMan441]

That intro was fantastic.

[@DarthTamarus]

Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora are mentioned in several EU books. Specifically Maul Lockdown and Darth Plagueis as far as I know. Love the tie-in’s.

[@Josh-b5t2u]

I also like reading found wiki page and giving an opinion with no connection to the game

[@Kaden10]

Look Evan, I know the Disney Era isn't everyone's cup of Blue Milk, but it still has some good points, and the Sequel Trilogy is the first Star Wars Trilogy I saw in the theater. Yes the Sequels weren't perfect but it also introduced me to characters that I have come to love in Finn, Rey and Poe. I love the Mandalorian and the Obi-Wan show. There is a lot of good in this new era of Star Wars you just have to find it. I hope you can see my side of things.

[@draphking]

My main grip with this game's story is how much of a target Jango makes himself throughout the course of it. You would think a bounty hunter would attempt to slightly lay low but dude straight up murders a senator and becomes #1 most wanted on Coruscant

[@TONEDEAFSOUND]

that’s because jango is him

[@RobertOfenloch]

And when you think about it, he sneaks all throughout Coruscant to silence the assassin and nobody in the movie knows who Jango is. Despite the game releasing AFTER the movie and the events of the game happening before.

[@brenrosam]

The difference between Dark Jedi and Sith is quick and easy to explain. Jedi and Sith are "organisations" with different ideologies (Sith Code/Jedi Code), not "alignments" to coin a D&D term (although the Jedi will have you believe that they are *good* and the Sith are *evil*). And, as both organisations recruit children and indoctrinate them into their own belief system, being a member of either organisation is not even a guarantee of agreement with their respective beliefs. A Sith is a member of the Sith Organisation. And a Dark Jedi is someone who used to be a Jedi and turned against their teachings, but didn't join the Sith. Plus, the Sith used to be a species which, over time, intermixed with humans and other species. But, for the most part, the term Sith is used to refer to the "organisation" and its' adherents rather than that species.

[@o.k.productions5202]

There are a couple good Disney canon books, my favourite Star Wars book is Disney canon. The problem is that New canon started with a miss managed trilogy which obscures the actual gems that are there, New Canon has the potential to be excellent just like the old EU but it first needs to find its feet and even then it will take decades to reach the complexity of the EU. I will always prefer the old stuff over all, but I am not blind to the good stuff in the new, and I am not going to forget that the earliest of the EU content was even more hit or miss than the new. Sure we had Thrawn and Backura to kick things off, but we also had the sentient mountains that cry and force demons beyond the edge of the galaxy.
